Instructional Course Lecture (ICL)
An ICL is 2 hours in length, didactic lecture and audience discussion, they represent the tried and true in Orthopaedics. They often combine the pearls and pitfalls of procedures. Information presented in an ICL represents accepted principles and techniques as well as evidence based practices. Two-hour courses are limited to 3 faculty and a moderator. Instructional Courses should consist of maximum of 90 minutes of didactic lecture followed by a minimum of 30 minutes of discussion. The faculty limit of 4 is strictly endorsed.
Symposium
A Symposium is 2 hours in length, meant for cutting edge, controversial, new or innovative topics. Debate formats work well for a symposium. A diverse faculty also works well for a symposium. Symposia topics should be well balanced and feature a blend of differing styles, techniques or management. Symposia should have a minimum of 3 speakers and a moderator, with a maximum of 13 (12 faculty and a moderator.) A minimum of 15 minutes should be left at the end for questions and answers.
